You need 10 - 12 reps' if you want size in my opinion. This is what I do and I'm growing nicely. Be careful adding things to up the weight because if one falls off, the weight will go off balance and you could seriously injure yourself. I once seen a weight fall off which threw it one way, then all the weights on that side came off which threw it the other way, and it was a scary sight, lol!

I'm not sure if there is a best time to train, but you want to train after you've got your carbs' in so you have energy. Then you want some directly after you train. This could be a mass shake with carbs' and protein.

If you could throw a few shakes a day in with your three meals it will help a lot. Chuck in a few bananas with milk to make more of a meal out of them. You can have them with scottish oats like off myprotein too, which will help up the carbs' and calories.

Excersise wise, I will make a reply on that in a minute, as I am bursting for the toilet. LOL.

Benni.
